History & Story
Home Away From Home
Eden Rock St Barths is more than just a hotel, it is your home situated in paradise. Surrounded by white sandy beaches, gin clear sea and amazing coral reefs full of colourful wild sea life, Eden Rock St Barths is waiting for you.
With its spectacular location in St Jean Bay, Eden Rock St Barths has been the byword for one-of-a-kind hospitality ever since mercurial French Caribbean aviator adventurer and occasional treasure-seeker Rémy de Haenen first welcomed guests to his Eden Rock home on the ocean, during the 1950s. The place quickly established itself as the preferred private and discreet bolt-hole of many glamourous Hollywood characters who quickly became friends of St Barths.
At the very heart of the island, St Jean invites guests to stroll to the shops, boutiques, bars and restaurants situated in the village nearby. Dedicated 100% to your comfort, all the Eden Rockers become familiar faces and close accomplices in making your stay both unique and unforgettable!

We strive for sustainability in everything we do.
At Oetker Hotels, we do understand that anything which is not sustainable cannot sustain. We therefore strive for sustainability in everything we do. We are committed to preserving the local environments and communities where we are present around the globe.
We have instituted a comprehensive strategy and created sustainability teams at each of our Masterpiece Hotels to carry out our objectives. Oetker Hotels is proud to adhere to the UN Global Compact framework for ensuring a safe and guaranteed future for all and support its 10 principles.
Caring for the future
First hotel established on the island; Eden Rock St Barths always has shown a strong commitment to island life. In past years this iconic hideaway has invested more and more frequently for a sustainable future, introducing electric cars, banning non-LED light bulbs and seeking to eliminate plastics. Together with Oetker Hotels as active “UN Global Compact” member, the property strives towards integrating Corporate Social Responsibility at each step along the way of its daily operations.
EDEN REEF
Eden Rock-St Barths is pleased to introduce Eden Reef, an ongoing coral restoration project to protect and regenerate the majestic coral reef surrounding the island using the innovative technology, BioRock©.
The Eden Angels, our committed team members who work actively every day to protect our island ecosystem, have partnered with local non-profit organization INE (Island Nature St Barth Experience) and our St Jean Bay neighbours, Nikki Beach Saint Barth, to head up the initiative.
The Biorock® technique involves running a low-intensity electrical current through submerged metal cages surrounding the reef. This electric current facilitates the deposition of dissolved calcium from the water onto the cages, making it available for use by corals to reinforce their skeletons.
The technique has been shown to increase coral growth rates by 3 to 5 times, depending on the species, and makes them more resilient to environmental stressors.
So far, the implementation of BioRock© has shown impressive results for Eden Reef, developing significant growth on more than 200 coral frags!
Be an Eden Angel
We are making it super easy and fun to get involved and become an active participant in protecting Eden Reef… Adopt a coral The most enduring way to show your support is to adopt a coral. By making an annual donation of any amount to our Eden Reef fund, you become the proud champion of the effort to preserve our coral reef ecosystem. Your open-ended earns you a certificate of adoption, and we will also send you a photo of your coral every 6 months so you can track its growth and see the tangible results of your generosity.
EDEN ANGELS
At Eden Rock St Barths, a team called « Eden Angels » is looking daily on how to improve its social and environmental impact. Far from cutting back on clients’ comfort, the use of best practices aims for a better and more sustainable future for everyone.
ST JEAN’S LAGOON
Eden Rock St Barths has led and financed part of the renovation of the surrounding St Jean Pond in the framework of a Public Private Partnership with the local government. The one-kilometer boardwalk circling the lagoon is an ideal area to walk and admire the countless numbers of wild bird life and fish life now enjoying the wilderness of the lagoon.
SARGASSE PROJECT
Eden Rock St Barths is happily contributing funds toward the success of the Sargasse Project: an innovative, home-grown initiative whose aim is to create paper and cardboard from Sargassum seaweed.
HYDROPONIC GARDEN
